摘要
A very distinctive perdicine bird was discovered in July 1991 during fieldwork in montane evergreen forests in parts of the Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania which were so far ornithologically unexplored. The bird is described here as a new genus and species with affinities to the hill-partridges Arborophila of the Indo-Malayan region. The relict occurrence in Africa of taxa with affinities to Oriental biota is discussed.
